Well what ever the problem is it will be sorted out, main thing is i did as the dealership suggested.

Owning a RRS is a love/hate relationship........

I would be very weary of his opinion. I only say this as this is what the LA man told me was wrong with mine at the roadside. I turned out it was the rear diff. He told me it was the brake shoes without even examining the car properly. Just as I booked it in for fixing the dealership spotted the it was the rear diff !

Nik,

I have exactly the same issue with mine.

It comes on after approx 45-50 mins of driving and a light touch on the brakes stops it so I was thinking stone between the disc and pad. When I checked there was a massive score across the near side rear brake disc but nothing between the disc and pad.

The brakes were needing done anyway so it is in today to have new discs and pads and i'll see if it clears up but will follow this post if you could update with whatever LR have to say about it.

Will do. Car being dropped off Thursday night when LRA will de leaving me a RRS hire car or as the guy on the phone said 'a freelander at worst'

Nik please let me know if the car you get is a RRS and if the reg begins with AJ09 be weary !! Driving back from france I had to tie the bonnet down with two timberland boot laces and and a bit of silver gaffer tape ! 

Nik,

While mine was getting the brakes done yesterday I asked my mechanic to investigate it for me and he came back with an instant response as he has a D3 himself. 'The brake shoes for the EPB are too tight' he says.

Apparently on most EPBs (non LR) a garage would fully tighten the brake shoes and then loosen it off four 'clicks' and this would then be good to go. On RRS and Disco it needs to be loosened off nine 'clicks' meaning that if the brake shoes were done by someone not familiar with LR then they would be too tight and would rub causing the squeek. He found this out the hard way on his own Disco.

He has repeated the correct procedure on my EPB shoes and i've not heard the squeek since. Result

Hope this helps

LRA man said its common fault so i'm hoping its the case as its an easy fix

When you drive and older RRSport it feels great until you get in to the new one which feels like a different car altogether, much further advanced than the old one, just imagine just how many more things there are to go wrong  some of my Previous cars
